Ipswich to Stansted Airport, via the A12 and A120.

We run Ipswich to Stansted transfers around the clock, with the fare settled before you travel rather than a meter running on the day. It is 51 miles by road and takes about 1 hour 10 minutes when the roads are clear. Ipswich, Hadleigh, Needham Market, Stowmarket and Manningtree.

The Ipswich to Stansted route

Drivers take the A12 south for about nineteen miles to Junction 25 at Marks Tey, then the A120 west through Coggeshall and Braintree to M11 Junction 8. That is 51 miles end to end, about 1 hour 10 minutes off-peak and nearer 1 hour 34 minutes when the network is busy.
The A120 changes character halfway - only the Braintree to M11 section is dual carriageway, while Marks Tey to Braintree past Coggeshall is single carriageway and is where this route loses time.
Worth knowing locally: the A14 Orwell Bridge is speed-restricted in high winds and closed outright above 60mph, which pushes traffic through the town centre and can add half an hour. We check it before winter airport runs.

Stansted is one terminal signed straight off M11 Junction 8.
